Philips 150B3V

The Philips 150B3V is the only 15-inch LCD in our roundup that works in portrait mode, which is a fantastic way to read full pages and Web sites. The screen rotates 90 degrees, and the Pivot Pro software lets you rotate your Windows desktop as well. The downside: The 150B3V is pricey, at $399.99 list, yet on our tests it had below-average contrast and a poor low-saturation color score.

The 150B3V has no trouble handling ordinary Windows apps and was excellent on our pixel phase test, but it had minor problems on several other tests. Some gray shades bled into adjacent areas, and the white end of the gray scale looked oversaturated and bluish in DisplayMate testing. And where the unit was supposed to display subtle shades of red on our low-saturation color test, we saw only white.

We are impressed with this monitor's portrait mode. Besides rotating, it tilts horizontally and vertically. It comes with a wizard that adjusts brightness, contrast, and color. And the online user guide is helpful. If you want to work in portrait mode, the 150B3V is worth the price.
